Even though Safari is my default browser, I still like having Firefox on my Mac in case something doesn’t work in Safari. There are also some useful add-ons and extensions in Firefox that are not available in Safari and I’m going to make them the center point of this blog posting. Firefox was one of the first web browsers to feature add-ons and extensions and has had that capability for at least the last 5 years. The add-ons for Firefox are a selling point for most people, but they can also be a downside in that if you have a lot of them, they can bog the browser down and make it run sluggishly.
The first thing I want to talk about with Firefox is themes. Themes allow you to customize the look of the toolbar section of the browser with background pictures or designs. One of the negatives about themes is that, depending on the design, some will make bookmarks or other text in the toolbar area hard to read. There is a nice one that I found with an LP record and some music notes that doesn’t hinder the readability of the text and I like the way it looks. This particular theme is called Retro Notes and it is by a developer named Listig.

In order to access themes, add-ons or extensions, you go to the Tools menu and select Add-ons. There will be a Tab for Themes and a link at the bottom for get more themes.

Now if you mouse over a theme or persona you will get a preview of what it will look like and you can either click “Wear it” to activate it or get more details about it.
Now let us move on to add-ons and extensions. I’m going to talk about some of my favorites. The first is Stumbleupon which comes in the form of a toolbar on your browser. Pc using windows software.
Stumbleupon is a service where you can select topics that you are interested in and when you click on the Stumble button it will take you to random Websites chosen by other users that correspond with those topics. It is a great way to discover really interesting Web content that you may have never come across during casual surfing. It can also be a big time sink or time waster. If you come across a site that you like you can click the thumbs up button and it will save the site to your Favorites on which you can access from the Favorites button. If you don’t like something you can click the thumbs down button. You have the choice to Stumble through a particular topic or category of topic. You can also search, stumble just photos or videos, or just the other Stumbleupon members that you subscribe to. This can be activated from the All menu.

Finally here is a partial topic list of some of the topics Stumbleupon offers for you to browse:
Another really slick add-on for picture sites like Flickr.com is Cooliris. Cooliris lets you zoom through pictures almost in a 3D like setting. You can do slideshows that look fantastic and it can even access photos that are stored locally on your computer. If you are not on a site the icon will grayed out, but if you are on a site like Flickr where Cooliris is supported the icon will turn blue. This is what Cooliris looks like in action.
Other smaller add-ons and extensions that I like include one called Download helper. If you are on a media site like YouTube this extension will start to move around in the toolbar meaning that it is active. You can click the little arrow next to it, it shows the active files such as a flash movie in YouTube (which has the extension .flv by the way) and you can download that video to your computer. Once it’s on your computer you can view it with a program called VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc) or convert it with a $15 app from Tastyapps.com called Videobox. If you buy Videobox it is also a plugin for Safari. The Download helper extension for Firefox can convert .flv files if you are technically savvy enough to install ffmpeg from the Terminal which apparently I am not.
Speaking of YouTube the last extension I want to talk about is called YouTube Comment Snob. A lot of comments that you see on YouTube are either juvenile, mean-spirited, or generally undesirable. YouTube Comment Snob will block those comments based on pre-defined rules such as lack of capitalization, grammatical errors, etc.
As you can see, you can still show the comment if you want to, but it will be hidden until you want it to be shown.

Finally, for those of you that have iPhones or iPod Touches there is now a free app called Firefox Home which shows all of the tabs you have open in Firefox and can sync all of your Firefox bookmarks. This app requires an extension called Firefox Sync in order for it to work. So if you are a Firefox user and want to basically take it with you, this app could be useful for you.
That will be it for this posting. Soon I will complete the series with part III: Google Chrome.
Pop-ups can be ads, notices, offers, or alerts that open in your current browser window, in a new window, or in another tab. Some pop-ups are third-party ads that use phishing tactics—like warnings or prizes—to trick you into believing they’re from Apple or another trusted company, so you’ll share personal or financial information. Or they might claim to offer free downloads, software updates, or plugins, to try to trick you into installing unwanted software.
Unless you’re confident of an ad’s legitimacy, you should avoid interacting with pop-ups or webpages that seem to take over your screen. Here are additional tips that can help you manage pop-ups and other unwanted interruptions.
Check and update your software
Always make sure you install the latest software updates for all your Apple products. Many software releases have important security updates and may include improvements that help control pop-ups.
The safest place to download apps for your Mac is the App Store. If you need third-party software for your Mac, and it isn’t available in the App Store, get it directly from the developer or another reliable source, rather than through an ad or link.
Check Safari settings and security preferences
Make sure Safari security settings are turned on, particularly Block Pop-ups—for pop-up windows—and the Fraudulent Website Warning.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > Safari and turn on Block Pop-ups and Fraudulent Website Warning.

On your Mac, you can find these options in Safari > Preferences. The Websites tab includes options to block some or all pop-up windows, and you can turn on fraudulent site warnings in the Security tab.
Pop-ups and ads in Safari
If you see an annoying pop-up ad in Safari, you can go to the Search field and enter a new URL or search term to browse to a new site. If you don’t see the Search field on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the top of the screen to make it appear.
Some pop-ups and ads have fake buttons that resemble the close button, so use caution if you try to close a pop-up or ad. If you're unsure, avoid interacting with the pop-up or ad and close the Safari window or tab.
On your Mac, you can also update your settings to prevent windows from opening again after you close Safari, or just press and hold the Shift key when you open Safari.
If you might have installed adware or other unwanted software on your Mac
If you see pop-ups on your Mac that just won’t go away, you might have inadvertently downloaded and installed adware (advertising-supported software) or other unwanted software. Certain third-party download sites might include programs that you don’t want with the software that you install.
If you think that you might have malware or adware on your Mac, update to the latest version of macOS. If your Mac is already running the latest version, restart it. macOS includes a built-in tool that removes known malware when you restart your Mac.

Check your Applications folder to see if you have any apps that you didn’t expect and uninstall them. You can also check the Extensions tab in Safari preferences to check if you installed any unnecessary extensions that you'd prefer to turn off. If you continue to see advertising or other unwanted programs on your Mac, contact Apple.
